Software, the leading developer of products for secure, scalable, web-based collaboration,
today announced Traction® TeamPage™ Release 3.7. New features added in this release include
extensible widgets, edit history and rollback, inline sections, flexible
outputs to any format, and upgraded mobile device support.
“Traction’s
products combine the group editing of a wiki, the simplicity of a blog, and a
unique access control and comment model to provide secure, scalable web-based
working communication and collaboration,” said Greg Lloyd, Traction Co-Founder
and President. “TeamPage 3.7 adds new
capabilities to link, edit, discuss, and deliver web content securely to
customers, suppliers and external stakeholders as well as groups within a
single enterprise. These new capabilities are based on feedback from leading
Consulting, Pharmaceutical, Finance and US Government customers.” » Read More on Greg's Blog
Linking, Widgets and Mashups
Wikis
and blogs create value by allowing users to make links to resources all around
the web. Traction 3.7 makes it simple to create widgets that show, list or link
to internal and external web resources.
TeamPage widgets can be inserted into any TeamPage blog post or page.
Widgets include: inline sections to show lists of links or content driven by
any Traction query; mashup style widgets that to show text and graphics from
any external source (e.g. a live weather report for any zip code); and live
text widgets that turn a text pattern into an automatically live link. An example of Traction’s new live text
widgets include a widget that recognizes the text pattern of a UPS tracking code,
and turns it into a live link to UPS's status page for that shipment. Customers
or partners can program Traction live text widgets to recognize invoice numbers
and link to an ERP page, or recognize a customer code and show it as a customer
name that automatically links to sales history in web-addressable CRM system. » Read More

Traction
has historically supported permission based edit history (for pages, comments
and, via WebDAV, attached files), and full audit trails (with time-line

Automated Email Digest
A
pharmaceutical company CIO said: “the TeamPage email digest is one of the most
popular features.” Although Traction supports secure, dynamic RSS / ATOM feeds,
the email digest continues to be the most popular medium for notification in
the enterprise. Release 3.7 brings control of the digest formatting and content
to each user. Users can now choose which projects to include in their digest,
and how to format the digest content using inline sections. » Read More
Section Display on Front Page,
Project Page and Single Page Views
Server
and project administrators can easily configure Front Page and Project Pages to
display query driven sections, making it easy to show permission filtered lists
of status reports, meeting notes, open issues, or any other content to readers.
Blog users don’t have to navigate page trees or reverse chronological listings
to find what’s important to them. Wiki users don’t have to manually update and
maintain pages of links that provide access to a list of pages that are related
for some important reason (e.g. customer suggestions, open issues). » Read More
